A spokesman for the coroner’s office said the update about the inquests was “completely coincidental” to the CPS announcement on Tuesday.
He said due to the complex nature of the various investigations involving the babies, the coroner’s office has been in dialogue with the families for several months.
Reporting restrictions remain in place, which protect the identities of the babies and their families.
The coroner’s court added: “Given the existing lifetime injunctions, the pre-inquest review hearing will be closed to members of the public including the press.”
Cheshire Police had submitted evidence to the CPS after investigating other incidents going back to 2012, covering Letby’s career and training in Liverpool.
The CPS said on Tuesday it had reviewed the file regarding further allegations against nine children but “the evidential test was not met in any of those cases”.
